GRIZZLY 100 & BIG BEAR MTB GRAN FONDO LINE FIRE UPDATE
As of October 31, 2024 Grizzly 100 Schedule:
Hi Racers,
We are excited to announce that we are planning to run the Grizzly a bit differently this year due to the Line Fire and forest closure that has impacted our community. As many of you may know, Maple Hills trails here in Big Bear are on private land and we have been given approval to run the event there.
Looking at the location it looks like we will be running a world cup style course featuring a 8.1 mile single-track loop. We will do spread out start times to reduce traffic on course to ensure the best possible experience for you guys.
Here are the lap counts for the different distances
We hope you guys are as excited as us to be able to have the event. It has been a challenging time with the Line Fire directly impacting our community but with your support we know we can have an outstanding event unlike any other Grizzly we’ve had before.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. We hope we can keep this event going and we appreciate your support.
If for any reason you are unable to attend we are more than happy to defer your entry to the following year as we do not do refunds. We appreciate your understanding and these difficult times due to the Line Fire. Any race is better than no race!
As of September 22, 2024 Line Fire Forest Closure Note:
We regret to inform you that due to the ongoing Line Fire and the resulting closure of the forest, we must postpone the Grizzly 100 & Big Bear MTB Gran Fondo until further notice. The safety of our riders, staff, and the community is our top priority, and given the current conditions and forest closure until November 30th, it is not possible to hold the event as planned.
We are actively working to secure a new date and will share those details with you as soon as they are confirmed. Your registration will automatically be transferred to the rescheduled event. However, if you are unable to attend on the new date, we are happy to offer the option to transfer your registration to the 2025 event.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time. We truly appreciate your support of the Grizzly 100 & Big Bear MTB Gran Fondo.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
$10,000 in CASH & PRIZES!!!
We are looking forward to The Big Bear Gran Fondo and Grizzly 100 on November 2nd 2024! Due to last years flooding in the Seven Oaks Valley and the continued closures from the Radford fire, we will be doing laps of the 50k course again for 2024, please click here for details. Subsequently, our start times have changed. We aim to reduce traffic on Skyline and throughout the course.
